Hifiman Sundara, Edition XS or Ananda Stealth

I have had problems with the comfort of my right ear with the stock pads, they give an annoying itch, I think I will order DT-700 PRO X pads to try if they are more comfortable.

I have DT1990, I like them, but the pad comfort could be better, they are to hard and shallow imo.

Keep them and use PEQ, I have 800s and with 5db low-shelf bass lift they have more than enough bass.

Meze 105 AER

Meze 105 AER looks very interesting, easy to drive as well it seems, personally I think they look sleeker than 109 👍

Apple Music > IMac 24 > Beyer 770 Pro X... Insane bass...

I upgrade from RME-ADI 2 to V-222, V-222 has a warmer sound, is it better? for me it was, but I wouldn't spend money on it if I didn't have them to spare, the difference in sound is just a matter of nuance, like all high-end equipment.

I have purchased Violectric V-222 amp and use RME ADI-2 as DAC, honestly the difference in sound is minimal, V-222 is slightly warmer in sound, but the quality is not better, just different, I assume the same difference applies to tube amps. My Violectric has more power, which I honestly don't...

The DT-770 Pro X is a bass monster, even better than my DT-1770 pro, I highly recommend to listen to Budgie's first album with 770ProX

My experience with Crossfeed is that you lose a little soundstage but gain significantly less listen fatigue, but I think it's worth it, especially with 800s that already have an extreme soundstage. but I haven't experienced losing any bass at all.

I can't listen to headphones without using Crossfeed since I started using that option with my RME, it allows me to listen for hours without any fattique.

I assume V322 is the successor to V222?

I don't think burn in will make any huge difference, but EQ works wonders, I lowered the high peaks and added a -2db low-shelf from 100hz, which made them sound very balanced and suitable for serious music listening as well.

I got mine yesterday, the build quality and comfort is excellent, but the treble pikes out of box was horrible, worse than my 1990 Pro imo, so the first thing I did was reduce them with EQ, after that they sounded ok. The bass, however, was superb, these are the first headphones I've owned that...
